This DVD features the entire collection of this critically-acclaimed Channel 4 drama Teachers, which is based around the lives, loves and timetables of a group of young comprehensive school teachers in Bristol. An irreverent comedy-drama that continues to steer clear of anything remotely educational or politically correct, the show delves into the lives of its hapless cast of teachers, whom no sane parent would want educating their children.
Teachers stars Tamzin Malleson as the manipulative sex kitten Penny; Vicky Hall as Lindsay, the biology teacher with a healthy disregard for her pupils; Lloyd McGuire as the “new” Bob, having reinvented himself on the cusp of a mid-life crisis; Ursula Holden Gill as squiffy-eyed Carol; Ellen Thomas as scary Liz; and Gillian Bevan as the Head Teacher Clare. Added to these staffroom members are Ben (Mathew Horne), a hypochondriac atheist who teachers religious education; Ewan (Lee Williams), the unwitting heart-throb English teacher; and Damien (Daon Broni), the cynical teacher of food technology.

30 Rock – season 3
March 28, 2009 by collectorsdvd30 Rock – season 3
“I really feel like this is going to be my year,” an uncharacteristically optimistic Liz Lemon proclaims in 30 Rock’s season two opener. Reality quickly intrudes on the hapless Liz, but for Tina Fey and 30 Rock, the year couldn’t be better. Nominated for 17 Emmys, the series repeated for Outstanding Comedy Series and earned Outstanding Actress and Actor honours for Fey and co-star Alec Baldwin as GM CEO-in-waiting Jack Donaghy. TV icon Tim Conway was also honoured as Outstanding Guest Actor as Bucky Bright in “Subway Hero”–just one of the strike-shortened season’s benchmark episodes–as a faded TV star from the 1940s and ’50s who shatters the illusions of television-loving NBC page Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) with appalling (and unprintable) stories about “the good old days.” If you’re going to make a television show, Bucky tells him, “things are going to get weird.” And from one of Kenneth’s lame parties that turns dark and twisted to the “Page Off” between Kenneth and his nemesis (Human Giant’s Paul Scheer) things get really weird behind the scenes of TGS, the SNL-ish sketch show where Liz oversees a motley crew of writers and her tempermental, demanding stars, insecure diva Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) and all kinds of crazy Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan). 30 Rock is rarefied television, each episode brimming with quotable dialogue (“Never go with a hippie to a second location”), brilliantly absurd bits (Tracy Jordan’s novelty hit, “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah,” the TV series “MILF Island,” Liz’s Cathy moment), and edge of the frame silliness that rewards close attention (“Anne Heche Leaves Husband for Pony,” reads a network news scroll in the episode, “Somebody to Love”). Stellar guest stars rise to the occasion. Edie Falco was an Emmy nominee for her recurring role as “C.C.”, the liberal Democratic Congresswoman who becomes conservative Republican Jack’s “hippie dippy mama,” as was Carrie Fisher as former Laugh-In writer Rosemary in the instant classic episode, “Rosemary’s Baby.” It’s this episode which features Tracy’s therapy session during which Jack channels Fred Sanford and J.J. from Good Times. Making welcome returns this season are Will Arnett as Jack’s corporate rival, Devon Banks, Chris Parnell as unethical Dr. Spaceman, Elaine Stritch as Jack’s castrating mother, and Dean Winters as Dennis Duffy, Liz’s sleazy former boyfriend and New York’s unlikeliest hero. Most sitcoms are as bad for you as the offbrand Mexican Cheetos that Liz gorges herself on, and as Jenna tells Liz at one point, employing “a weak metaphor,” you deserve a good meal. 30 Rock is a feast.
